An English correspondent of the New

several days, accompanied by his wife

that country. The senator, speaking
of his impressions of England, says:

The fire was just going nicely when
the engine arrived and few minutes
of hard work with axes and water put
out all traces of fire. Several men were
quite seriously hurt by coming in con-

done.
